How to Install Strings in Shindaiwa T231 Trimmers

Installing string onto the Shindaiwa T242 trimmer differs from most weed trimmers because the trimmer reel is a pre-wound unit that you simply replace once the real runs out of string. This differs from other units that allow you to reinstall new string onto the same reel. Purchase replacement reels from Shindaiwa dealerships.
